Progressing Through Brokenness: Embracing the Maverick Mindset

Broken. My understanding is that if an object no longer functions the way it did at the end of the manufacturing process, then it is broken. Broken is different from defective. Broken means that it did work at some stage, whereas defective implies that it was imperfect at the end of its manufacturing. Let's extrapolate this to people. Let's assume that at birth, our biology is functioning in the manner it was designed, unless there is something that went wrong before birth. Most people are not defective at birth, so how do we become broken?

I can attest that our choices play a significant role in whether we remain functional or become broken. I neglected some essential nutrients and overindulged in things that were not good for my body. As a result, I developed a thyroid condition. I can't blame anyone but myself. However, I have taken responsibility and am now working on getting well.

Moreover, I have also allowed myself to believe information that is not the best information, which has led to some poor life choices. When it comes to our health, there is so much misinformation out there, and it's essential to be diligent in seeking out the best information.

Beyond health, I've learned the hard way that it's important to be discerning about the people we trust. I like to think the best of people, but I've trusted people I shouldn't have, which has led to some extremely expensive life lessons.

As we strive towards the Maverick mindset and lifestyle, we must also acknowledge the need for disruption. However, we should not limit ourselves to disrupting external factors, but rather look inward and start by disrupting our own habits and ways of thinking. Sometimes, the biggest obstacle to our progress is ourselves, and in order to break through that barrier, we need to challenge our own preconceptions and beliefs. It takes courage to confront our own limitations and weaknesses, but it is through this process of disruption that we can truly transform and become the Mavericks we aspire to be.

On our life's journey, on this pursuit of the Maverick Mindset and lifestyle, we need to own our blunders, upgrade our decision-making process, and progress our lives. It's never too late to make a change and turn things around. Let's take responsibility for our choices, seek out the best information, and surround ourselves with trustworthy people who will help us achieve our goals.

The Genesis Moment

Th e Genesis Moment: Forming Order During Chaos Genesis means “beginning,” teaching us to create order from chaos. Instead of fearing disorder, we can establish structure, embrace responsibility, and build a foundation for growth. Becoming Maverick means transforming through challenges and stepping into stewardship over your life. Let's apply the Genesis Mindset today. Genesis—it means "beginning." I often find myself returning to the first few chapters of Genesis , especially when life feels out of control and chaotic or when I'm facing things I don’t fully understand. There’s something about these opening words of the Bible that carries profound wisdom—wisdom we often overlook. Becoming Maverick is about stepping back, recognizing the principles that govern life, and applying them with intention. Too often, we get caught up in religious or scientific debates about Genesis and miss the principles it offers for how life on earth actually works. But if we take a st...
